Testen wird oft noch als notwendiges Übel am Ende der Softwareerstellung angesehen. Das Berufsbild des Testers ist nicht sehr angesehen und wird von den meisten nicht angestrebt. Diese Sichtweise steht allerdings im krassen Widerspruch zur Bedeutung d...

We present an adaptive tester for the unateness property of Boolean functions. Given a function f : {0, 1}n → {0, 1} the tester makes O(n log(n)/ε) adaptive queries to the function. The tester always accepts a unate function, and rejects with probability at least 0.9 if a function is ε-far from being unate.

The present study used the sibling adoption design to investigate teacher and tester ratings of temperament in middle childhood. When each child was 7 years old, ratings on the Colorado Childhood Temperament Inventory were obtained from a teacher and tester fo...
